Turpin rushed her daughter to the local hospital and the girl received a CT scan. While she is expected to make a full recovery, Turpin doesn’t want her daughter’s story to be forgotten.

Posting photos of her daughter’s injuries online, Turpin wrote that Lanny “was being nice to a mentally challenged child and the other girl didn’t like it,” according to the Daily Mail.

When she asked the principal about the bully’s punishment, he said that “she would be suspended for two days … [but] then I found out they didn’t even do anything to her.”

This is not an isolated incident, according to Turpin.

“Other mothers are in the same situation,” she told Alabama.com. “And we went through this before with my older child. Nothing has changed when we’ve gone to the school about the bullying. I just want them safe at school.”

Turpin plans to start homeschooling her daughter because she feels that the school district isn’t doing enough to stop bullying. Principal Tony Willis said he could not comment on the issue or confirm whether the bully received punishment.

“We’ve been instructed we’re not to comment on this situation because the family has been speaking to an attorney,” Willis said. “With any incident, we’re going to look into it and follow our code of conduct to the letter. We try to be proactive rather than reactive and make sure students are comfortable enough to talk with us when they encounter problems.”

Very touchy situation. By the marks and bruises they should of known this was no accident nor fall. Bullying is not right and those involved should be punished for their actions. Praying for this little girl.

For too long our society has shrugged off bullying by labeling it a ‘rite of passage and by asking students to simply get over it . Those attitude need to change every day students are bullied into silence and are afraid to speak up.Lets break this silence and end school bullying
